I’m in denial. It cannot be September. Wasn’t it just July?! I am not sure where the summer went. Well I know where mine went. Hours and hours in the kitchen attempting to create new recipes! Even though I’m sad summer is coming to an end, fall is my favorite season. I love the crisp…
I hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend! After a little pool time on Saturday, my friends and I are headed to the beach today. Crossing my fingers most of the crowds will be headed home today! Before I hit the pool Saturday, my friend and I ventured to Costco and fought the weekend…
It’s officially the last holiday weekend of the summer. I’m not ready to let go of summer quite yet. I can’t wait to spend the weekend soaking up the sun at the beach and the pool. Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! I’ll be back Monday sharing a new recipe. Here are a couple of…
Yesterday, my friend came over to help me style my food and take pictures. I attempted to make pancakes, burgers, a side and a layered dessert. I think I overexerted myself just a wee bit! Thankfully most of the food turned out great, except for some overly spicy burgers. I will be fixing that recipe…
One of my favorite former treats was ice cream. I used to justify eating a whole pint because it was “low fat.” I would eat a pint for dinner without a second thought. It was bad. After making my blackberry rosewater ice cream, I couldn’t wait to make another variety! I like cherries, but I…
I love finding new recipes and trying them out. I recently bought Danielle’s Against All Grain cookbook (here) and was instantly in love. There is page after page of delicious recipes that I can’t wait to make! First on my list was her crockpot orange chicken. OMG yum! This recipe is amazing. Not only is…
Pink on pink on pink. I love this recipe because it is a little playful. The main three ingredients are all pink, which isn’t all that common in food. Ok so salmon might be a little more orange than pink but still. Thankfully the pink isn’t just a cute gimmick. The dish is crazy good!…
Last weekend my friends and I had a little Mexican Fiesta pool party. We grilled burgers and sipped on some “paleo” drinks. Now I know you are thinking. Alcohol isn’t paleo. Yes. Yes. You are probably right, but for some reason paleo people have embraced tequila and the paleo margarita. Good thing I love tequila….
I love Thai takeout. It is my favorite takeout of all the takeouts! Maybe it has something to do with the fact there is an amazing Thai restaurant walking distance from my apartment. I am happy to say I haven’t caved and gone there in a long time though. I was craving their Tom Kah…
I have mentioned I am a recovering sugar addict, and I am not kidding. I crave sweets pretty much 24/7. As I have slowly added treats back into my diet, I was excited to try inventive recipes. Growing up my mom made a fantastic key lime pie. I would beg her to make it, and…
This weekend was filled with soaking up the last bit of summer rays before everyone buckles down and starts focusing back on work. I love summer, and I am not ready for it to end. Some friends and I threw a Mexican Fiesta pool party and got our grill on. Sipping on a couple paleo…
So this week I had an intense chocolate craving and needed a fix asap. Normally I have an apple on hand to help with my sugar addiction. Unfortunately I had just ran out. There is a bakery a block from my apartment, and it was very tempting to go pick up a delicious brownie. I…
